RGNUL Student Dies Amidst Allegations of Delayed Response
A law student at a university in India sadly passed away.
She had a sudden heart problem and collapsed.
While the university says they helped right away, other students are saying that it took too long for the ambulance and medical help to arrive.
They also mentioned that the doctor on duty was not available.
The exact cause of death is still being investigated, but the students are now wondering if the university’s emergency plan is good enough, and want to know what happened.
The exam that was scheduled for the next day was cancelled because of the incident.
A 24-year-old law student died of cardiac arrest at RGNUL Patiala.
The student collapsed in a hostel corridor and was taken to a private hospital, where she was declared dead.
Students allege a delay in the university's emergency response, citing a late ambulance arrival and inaccessible medical staff.
University authorities claim a prompt response, with an ambulance arriving quickly.
The post-mortem has been conducted and a case registered; the exam scheduled for May 22 was cancelled.
